Forging :From the highest precision to the smallest detail

The forging methods which we have developed made it possible to ensure grain flow parallel to the main force lines by precisely adjusting the part geometry to the forging process.
The results are strength and toughness values which correspond to our notion of manufacturing excellence and fulfil our customers' specifications relating to the service life of highly loaded safety-critical components.

The special FUCHS hot die-forging technology ensures the optimum in terms of quality and exact reproducibility in small and large series by means of an inter-linked process of centrally-monitored heating and process-integrated heat treatment.
